Aug. 1 (UPI) — The Euphoria cast and crew are mourning the death of actor Angus Cloud.
Series creator Sam Levinson and cast members Javon Walton and Storm Reid paid tribute to Cloud on social media following his death at age 25.
Cloud, an actor who played Fezco “Fez” O’Neill on the HBO series, died Monday, his family confirmed in a statement. The family said Cloud had recently lost his father and mentioned his struggles with mental health but did not share a cause of death.
In a statement, Levinson remembered Cloud as a “talented” actor who connected with others.
“There was no one quite like Angus. He was too special, too talented and way too young to leave us so soon,” he said. “He also struggled, like many of us, with addiction and depression. I hope he knew how many hearts he touched. I loved him. I always will. Rest in peace and God Bless his family.”
Walton, who played Fez’s adoptive brother Ashtray O’Neill on Euphoria, shared a photo on Instagram of himself and Cloud embracing.
“rest easy brother,” he captioned the post.
